Media Coverage
Police carriage of naloxone has attracted considerable print, broadcast and online media coverage, locally across the test-bed areas, nationally across Scotland, UK-wide, and overseas. Further significant social media interaction has also been achieved, particularly with the support of partner organisations.
Police Scotland has undertaken a significant volume of communications work, both internally and externally, relating first to the Test of Change and now to the national roll out. The Communications strategy is aligned to the Scottish Government nationwide campaign to raise public awareness of the signs of a drug overdose and the widening availability of naloxone.
The Naloxone micro-site previously established on the organisation's intranet for the Test of Change to ensure officers and staff were able to access the relevant information easily, remains in place and has been updated to reflect the national project.
